Liberals continue their push to eliminate all non-white imagery from American branding..  They didn't want to be confronted at the grocery store by a non-white character on a box of rice or a syrup bottle.  And they don't want to see a non-white sports mascot either.

Their non-white Native American mascot will be replaced with a lily-white guardian character.

LOL. Is Randy Newman going to perform the national anthem at the first game with the new uniforms?

Obviously, they tried to find a name that was almost "Indians", but not Indians.

 So, an eerie start for the Erie warriors as they drop their name.  In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven't, the gardaIndians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.

LOL!  Cuyahoga River, 1969.

Man [supposedly] steps out on moon and plants an American flag, while down on earth, a river feeding into Lake Erie catches fire.

I would have voted for the Mistakes (on the lake), but I guess they didn't do a survey.
